Troops of Operation SHARAN DAJI in Zamfara State have arrested the Vice Chairman of Anka Local Government Area, Zamfara State, Mr. Yahuza Ibrahim Wuya, based on credible intelligence report linking him to bandits in Wuya and Sunke communities.
The arrest of the council’s vice chairman was confirmed in a statement issued Thursday by the Operation Sharan Daji’s Acting Information Officer, Major Clement Abiade.

“He was also accused of aiding the release of a notorious gun runner one Sani Yaro from Gusau prison,” Major Abiade added.
In another related development, the troops also arrested two suspected informants along Burukusuma-Sabon Birni in Sokoto State and they are Mallam Ibrahim Bangaje and Mallam Ado Bayero, according to the statement.
“The suspects will be handed over to relevant security agency for possible prosecution after initial investigation.
